Should I Pay My Traffic Ticket?

Should I Pay My Traffic Ticket?

Posted By
Foley Griffin, LLP

For most people, it is not a matter of if they receive a traffic ticket,
but when. In many cases, you will be able to fight your traffic ticket
and not have to pay. In other cases, you will likely just need to pay
the traffic ticket. Before taking action, however, it is in your best
interest to speak with an attorney and see what action can be taken.

Once you pay a traffic ticket, there is nothing more that you can do. After
it is paid, you either get points or have to attend traffic school, along
with the hefty fine. Therefore, it is vital that you take action and contact
an attorney as soon as you receive the ticket.

If you or someone you love has received a traffic ticket, don’t make
any rushed decision. In many cases, you have a few weeks at minimum to
take action. We encourage you to use that time to your advantage and seek
out the best possible solution. Whether or not you are guilty, you should
maximize your legal avenues to minimize the fine and the impact of the
ticket on your insurance premiums.
